A determination process for determining whether or not there is present is executed.
When the final stop symbol data instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is neither the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (S41: NO), the CPU 461 ends the sub-process and performs the main processing. Return to the flowchart.
On the other hand, when the final stop symbol data instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is either the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (S41: YES), in S42, the CPU 461 displays the display control board. A determination process for determining whether or not the final stop symbol data instructed to the CPU 661 is one of the small hit symbols is executed.

  Subsequently, when the final stop symbol data instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is one of the small hit symbols (S42: YES), in S43, the CPU 461 hits the sorting character 24. A determination process is executed to determine whether or not a winning opening 47 has been won, that is, whether or not a winning ball detection signal has been input from the first detection sensor 45 via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464. . When the winning ball detection signal is not input from the first detection sensor 45 via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464 (S43: NO), the CPU 461 determines the first of the sorting objects 24. It is determined that the pachinko ball that has won the grand prize winning hole 31 enters the recess 36A of the rotating member 36 with a probability of 9/10, and is guided to the discharge port 48 by the vertical movement and the rotating movement of the rotating member 36. The process ends and the process returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, when a winning ball detection signal is input from the first detection sensor 45 via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464 (S43: YES), the CPU 461 determines whether the sorting combination 24 is in S44. It is determined that the pachinko ball that has won the first big winning opening 31 has won the winning winning opening 47. In other words, the pachinko ball that has won the first big winning opening 31 of the sorting role 24 enters and is held in the notch recess 36B of the rotating member 36 with a probability of 1/10. It is determined that the user has been guided to the mouth 47. Then, the CPU 461 reads the gate flag (when the power is turned on, “0” is assigned to the gate flag) from the parameter storage area 463I, and “1” is assigned to the gate flag, that is, the gate flag is set. Turn it ON and store it again in the parameter storage area 463I.
Subsequently, in S45, the CPU 461 reads the gate flag from the parameter storage area 463I, and when the gate flag is ON, that is, “1”, the second start port sensor 25A is validated, that is, the second The process waits for the detection signal from the start port sensor 25A to be input via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464, the sub-process is terminated, and the process returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, in S42, when the final stop symbol data instructed to the CPU 661 of the display control board 66 is one of the jackpot symbols (S42: NO), the CPU 461 executes the processing after S44, The sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the gate passage determination process (S4) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 20, first, in S51, the CPU 461 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the second start port sensor 25A is valid.
In this determination process, the CPU 461 reads the gate flag from the parameter storage area 463I, and when the gate flag is “1”, that is, when the gate flag is ON, it is determined that the second start port sensor 25A is valid. On the other hand, when the gate flag is “0”, that is, when the gate flag is OFF, it is determined that the second start port sensor 25A is not valid.
If the gate flag read from the parameter storage area 463I is OFF (S51: NO), the CPU 461 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the gate flag read from the parameter storage area 463I is ON (S51: YES), in S52, the CPU 461 turns on the gate flag for a predetermined time (about 8 seconds to about 20 in this embodiment). Seconds, preferably 10 seconds), and waits for a pachinko ball detection signal to be input from the second start port sensor 25A. If a pachinko ball detection signal is input from the second starting port sensor 25A within the predetermined time (S52: YES), in S53, the CPU 461 reads the jackpot flag (when the power is turned on, from the parameter storage area 463I). "0" is assigned to the jackpot flag), and "1" is substituted for the jackpot flag, that is, the jackpot flag is turned on and stored again in the parameter storage area 463I. Further, the CPU 461 reads the gate flag from the parameter storage area 463I, substitutes “0” for the gate flag, that is, turns off the gate flag, stores the gate flag in the parameter storage area 463I again, and stores the second start port. The sensor 25A is disabled, that is, the detection signal from the second start port sensor 25A is ignored. Thereafter, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, if the pachinko ball detection signal is not input from the second starting port sensor 25A within the predetermined time (S52: NO), the CPU 461 reads the jackpot flag from the parameter storage area 463I, and sets it as the jackpot flag. “0” is substituted again, that is, the jackpot flag is turned OFF, and the parameter storage area 463I is stored again. Further, the CPU 461 reads the gate flag from the parameter storage area 463I, substitutes “0” for the gate flag, that is, turns off the gate flag, stores the gate flag in the parameter storage area 463I again, and stores the second start port. The sensor 25A is disabled, that is, the detection signal from the second start port sensor 25A is ignored. Thereafter, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the jackpot game process (S5) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 21, first, in S61, the CPU 461 reads a jackpot flag from the parameter storage area 463I and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the jackpot flag is ON, that is, “1”.
When the jackpot flag read from the parameter storage area 463I is not “1”, that is, when it is “0” (S61: NO), the CPU 461 determines that the “jackpot” has not been acquired, and The process ends and the process returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the jackpot flag read from the parameter storage area 463I is “1”, that is, when the jackpot flag is ON, it is determined that “big jackpot” has been acquired (S61: YES), and in S62, the CPU 461 Then, the second opening / closing solenoid 37 </ b> A is driven to open the opening / closing door 37 that closes the second large winning opening 38.
Subsequently, in S63, whether or not the number of winning balls won in the second big prize opening 38 has reached a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment), that is, the second big prize opening sensor 38A. It is determined whether or not the number of winnings detected by the above has reached a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment).
If the number of winning balls won in the second major winning opening 38 has not reached the predetermined number (10 in this embodiment) (S63: NO), in S64, the CPU 461 It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (in the present embodiment, about 29 seconds to about 35 seconds, preferably about 30 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the two major winning prize openings 38. Then, when the predetermined time has not elapsed since the second grand prize winning opening 38 was opened (S64: NO), the CPU 461 executes the processing after S62 again.

On the other hand, when the number of winning balls won in the second grand prize opening 38 has reached a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment) (S63: YES), or the second big prize opening 38 is opened. When a predetermined time has elapsed (in this embodiment, about 29 seconds to about 35 seconds, preferably about 30 seconds) (S64: YES), in S65, the CPU 461 causes the CPU 461 to open and close the door 37. Is closed to close the second big prize opening 38.
In S <b> 66, the CPU 461 determines whether or not the number of times the second big prize opening 38 has been continuously opened has reached a predetermined maximum number of times (in the present embodiment, “16 times”). A determination process for determining If the number of times the second grand prize opening 38 is opened does not reach the predetermined maximum continuation number (S66: NO), the CPU 461 closes the second big prize opening 38 for a predetermined time (this implementation). In the example, it is about 2 seconds.) After the elapse of time, the processing after S62 is executed again.
After that, when the number of times the second big winning opening 38 is opened reaches a predetermined maximum continuation number (S66: YES), in S67, the CPU 461 reads out the jackpot flag from the parameter storage area 463I, and the jackpot The flag is set to OFF, that is, “0” is substituted and stored again in the parameter storage area 463I. Then, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, an example from the winning to the first starting port 23 by the game control process to the end of the big hit game in which the second big winning port 38 is opened a predetermined number of times will be described based on the timing chart shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 22, first, the CPU 461 detects a winning ball detection signal from the first start port sensor 23 </ b> A via an input / output circuit (I / O) 464.
Then, the CPU 461 starts the variation of the three rows of the variation symbols of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 based on the winning, and when the “small hit” is drawn, the variation symbols of the three rows are selected. Is stopped and displayed with the small hit symbol (for example, “776” or the like). On the other hand, the CPU 461 starts the variation of the three rows of variation symbols of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 based on the winning, and when the “big hit” is drawn, the three rows of variation symbols are displayed. Stop display with the jackpot symbol (for example, “777” or the like).

  Subsequently, when the three rows of changing symbols of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 are stopped and displayed with a small winning symbol (for example, “776” or the like), the CPU 461 performs the first opening / closing. The solenoid 30A is driven to open the opening / closing door 30 that closes the first big winning opening 31 for a predetermined time (in this embodiment, about 1.5 seconds). Then, the CPU 461 detects the detection signal from the first detection sensor 45 that has detected the winning of the pachinko ball P that has entered the notch recess 36 </ b> B of the rotating member 36 to the winning winning opening 47 via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464. The second start port sensor 25A is enabled for a predetermined time (about 10 seconds in this embodiment), that is, the detection signal from the second start port sensor 25A is input / output. It waits for a predetermined time (in this embodiment, about 10 seconds) to be input via the circuit (I / O) 464.

  On the other hand, when the three rows of changing symbols of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 are stopped and displayed as a jackpot symbol (for example, “777” or the like), the CPU 461 detects the second start port sensor. 25A is made valid for a predetermined time (in this embodiment, about 10 seconds), that is, a detection signal from the second start port sensor 25A is input via an input / output circuit (I / O) 464. For a predetermined time (in this embodiment, about 10 seconds).

  While the second starting port sensor 25A is valid, the pachinko ball passes through the gate 25, and a pachinko ball detection signal is output from the second starting port sensor 25A via the input / output circuit (I / O) 464. When the input is made, the CPU 461 again invalidates the second start port sensor 25A and turns on the jackpot flag. Thereafter, the CPU 461 executes a jackpot game that opens the second big prize opening 38 a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 16 times), and then turns off the jackpot flag again and ends the game process.

  Here, the liquid crystal display 19 and the display control board 66 constitute a variable symbol display means. The first start port 23 functions as a first start port. Further, the gate 25 functions as a second starting port. The first grand prize opening 31 functions as a first big prize opening. The winning winning opening 47 functions as a winning winning opening. Further, the discharge port 48 functions as a discharge port. In addition, the distribution agent 24 functions as a distribution agent. Further, the first detection sensor 45 functions as a first detection unit. The second grand prize opening 38 functions as a second big prize opening. Also, the “big hit” functions as the first big hit. The “small hit” functions as the second big hit. Further, the CPU 461, the ROM 462, and the jackpot counter 463A constitute a jackpot lottery means and a bonus game grant means. Further, the CPU 461 and the ROM 462 constitute first jackpot determination means and second jackpot determination means. The jackpot symbol functions as a first jackpot symbol. Also, the small hit symbol functions as a second big hit symbol. In addition, the three rows of variation symbols of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 function as variation symbols. The CPU 461, the ROM 462, the jackpot symbol selection counter 463C, the jackpot symbol selection counter 463D, the first selection table 71, and the second selection table 72 constitute a jackpot symbol selection means. The CPU 461 and CPU 661 constitute display control means. The jackpot game corresponds to a special game state. The CPU 461 functions as a first special game control unit and a second special game control unit. Moreover, the state in which the opening / closing door 30 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) and the first grand prize winning opening 31 is opened corresponds to the privilege gaming state. In addition, the state in which the pachinko ball that has entered the first big winning opening 31 is retained in the notch recess 36B of the rotating member 36 and wins the winning winning opening 47 as the rotating member 36 rotates functions as a third big win. .

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the lottery is drawn with a lottery probability of 1/150 based on the winning information to the first start port 23, and the three columns of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 are selected. After the fluctuation symbol of fluctuates, the gate 25 becomes valid for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) when it stops at any jackpot symbol from “000” to “999”. If a pachinko ball passes through the gate 25 while the gate 25 is active, the second big prize opening 38 that is normally closed by the open / close door 37 is opened a predetermined number of times, and the second big prize is won. The pachinko ball can be easily won in the mouth 38 (special game state).
In addition, after the lottery probability of 1/150 based on the winning information to the first start port 23 is drawn and the fluctuation symbols of the three columns of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 are changed, “009” ”,“ 001 ”to“ 998 ”, and“ 990 ”, the door 30 of the sorter 24 opens for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds). The first grand prize opening 31 is opened (privilege gaming state). The pachinko balls that have entered the first grand prize opening 31 are randomly placed in either the nine recesses 36A or one notch recess 36B formed on the outer periphery of the rotating member 36 that rotates at a constant rotational speed. The pachinko balls held in the recess 36A are guided to the discharge port 48, and the pachinko balls held in the notch recess 36B are guided to the winning winning port 47. For this reason, when the pachinko ball that has entered the first big winning opening 31 is held in the notch recess 36B with a probability of 1/10 and won the winning winning opening 47, the gate 25 is set for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). validate. If a pachinko ball passes through the gate 25 while the gate 25 is active, the second big prize opening 38 that is normally closed by the open / close door 37 is opened a predetermined number of times, and the second big prize is won. The pachinko ball can be easily won in the mouth 38 (special game state).

As a result, when the three rows of changing symbols of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 change and then stop display with the jackpot symbol, the gate 25 becomes valid for a predetermined time, and the pachinko ball is placed on the effective gate 25. Is passed a predetermined number of times (in this example, 16 times) and the pachinko ball easily wins from the second large winning opening 38, so that the player It is possible to easily acquire a lot of prize balls in a short time, and the player's expectation for obtaining a predetermined number of times of opening (special game state) of the second big prize opening 38 notified by the stoppage of the jackpot symbol A feeling can be heightened and an interest can be increased.
In addition, after the three rows of the changing symbols of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 change, the door 30 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) after being stopped and displayed with a small hitting symbol. The big prize opening 31 is opened. Then, the pachinko ball that has entered the first grand prize opening 31 is held in the notch recess 36B of the rotating member 36 that rotates with a probability of 1/10. When the pachinko ball passes through this effective gate 25, the second grand prize opening 38 is opened a predetermined number of times (in this example, 16 times) and the second big prize opening 38 is opened. Since the pachinko ball easily wins, it becomes possible for the player to easily acquire a lot of winning balls in a short time, and the first big winning opening 31 that is informed by the stoppage of the small jackpot symbol is released (privilege Gaming state), and the pachinko ball that has entered the first grand prize opening 31 is held in the notch recess 36B of the rotating member 36, so that the second big prize opening 38 is opened a predetermined number of times (special gaming state). Play against the acquisition of Can increase the expectation of the user, it is possible to increase interest.

For this reason, the player can acquire the predetermined number of times of opening (special game state) of the second big prize opening 38 after the jackpot is drawn based on the winning to the first start opening 23. After winning lottery based on 1 lottery process and winning to the 1 start opening 23, the door 30 is opened and the first big winning opening 31 is opened for a predetermined time (privilege gaming state). When the pachinko ball that has entered the first grand prize opening 31 is held in the notch recess 36B of the rotating member 36 with a probability of 1/10, the second big prize opening 38 is opened a predetermined number of times (special game state). The gate 25 becomes valid for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) by the two types of lottery processing, which is the second lottery processing that can be acquired, and the pachinko ball passes through the gate 25 during this period. In the case of a predetermined number of times of the second big prize opening 38 It is possible to obtain release of the (special game state), it is possible to increase the player's interest by diversifying the pachinko game can attract strongly pachinko game.
In addition, the pachinko ball that has entered the first grand prize winning hole 31 rotates with a probability of 1/10 when the three symbols of the fluctuation symbol of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 change and then stop at the jackpot symbol. When held in the notch recess 36B of the member 36, it is necessary to fire the game ball so that the pachinko ball passes through the gate 25 within a predetermined time, so that the skill of the player can be utilized, The interest of pachinko games can be further increased.
In addition, the pachinko ball that has entered the first grand prize winning hole 31 rotates with a probability of 1/10 when the three symbols of the fluctuation symbol of the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 change and then stop at the jackpot symbol. When held in the notch recess 36 </ b> B of the member 36, the gate 25 becomes valid for a predetermined time, and when the pachinko ball passes through this effective gate 25, the second grand prize opening 38 may be opened a predetermined number of times. Therefore, two types of games can be easily realized with a simple control configuration, and a highly reliable game can be provided.

In addition, when the first detection sensor 45 does not detect a winning at the winning winning opening 47, the detection signal of the second detection sensor 25A is invalid, that is, the winning information to the gate 25 is invalid winning information. Since the second grand prize opening 38 provided in the area 11 is in a closed state, when there is no corresponding or no prize winning 47, the predetermined number of times of opening the second big prize opening 38 (special game state) is The pachinko ball that has entered the first grand prize opening 31 is not surely given, and the expectation for the entry to the notch recess 36B of the rotating member 36, that is, the winning to the winning prize opening 47 of the sorting agent 24 can be increased. it can. Further, by adjusting the probability of the pachinko ball entering the first big prize opening 31 to enter the notch recess 36B of the rotating member 36, that is, to the winning prize mouth 47 of the pachinko ball entered the first big prize opening 31. By adjusting the winning probability of the player, it is possible to accurately control the lottery probability of giving a predetermined number of times of opening (special gaming state) of the second large winning opening 38, so that the profit balance between the player and the amusement store is improved. It can be easily achieved.
In addition, when the three symbols of the changing symbols on the liquid crystal display 19 of the special symbol display device 18 change and then stop display with the jackpot symbol, the gate 25 is effective only for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). When the pachinko ball does not pass through the effective gate 25, the gate 25 is invalidated and the second large winning opening 38 is closed, so that the winning probability to the gate 25 is determined by adjusting the nail or the like. By adjusting, the probability of granting a predetermined number of times of opening (special gaming state) of the second grand prize opening 38 can be more accurately controlled, so that the profit balance between the player and the amusement shop can be easily achieved. Can do.
Furthermore, the gate 25 is configured with a gate through which pachinko balls pass from the top to the bottom, and is disposed above the second big winning opening 38, so when a big hit or a conditional big win is drawn, By operating the operation handle 10 so that the game ball enters the effective gate 25, the player can simultaneously operate the game ball to win the second big prize opening 38, and the player's skill can be increased. Furthermore, it can be utilized and the interest of the pachinko game can be further increased.
